Fedora xen - Sep 2006 - debugging xenguest-install

I''m attempting to install rawhide to a domU using xenguest-install.
However it hangs on "Searching for Fedora Core installations..."

This is paravirt on ia64.  The installation is running on the xen
(text) console, so there appears to be no way to access the debugging
information anaconda would be stashing on the other virtual consoles,
or in /tmp.

xm list shows domU is spinning; the CPU time is climbing steadily.

Debugging suggestions?

Thanks,
Aron

Attempting to debug, I started the "installation" with

    xenguest-install -n domu -r 512 -f /root/domu.img \
        -s 4 --nographics -p \
        -l http://hummer.zko.hp.com/fedora/linux/core/development/ia64/os/ \
        -x ''ide0=noprobe ide1=noprobe ide2=noprobe ide3=noprobe rescue
nomount''

but it appears rescue mode doesn''t work with today''s rawhide,
at least
not under xenguest-install:

    Running anaconda, the Fedora Core rescue mode - please wait...
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 703, in ?
        rescue.runRescue(anaconda)
      File "/usr/lib/anaconda/rescue.py", line 260, in runRescue
        runShell(screen)
    UnboundLocalError: local variable ''screen'' referenced
before assignment
    install exited abnormally [1/1] 

The bug looks apparent in rescue.py: screen is only initialized under
the condition: if not methodUsesNetworking(anaconda.id.methodstr)
